I hate to be a wet blanket but how old/big are the locals? If they've been around for a long time, just scrapping them and beginning over as if they never existed could cause a LOT of bad feelings among alumni. It's one thing to be able to say "My local became a chapter of Sigma Chi" - and to be able to look at those guys and know they are in a way your "descendants." It's something else again to know your org was completely dissolved and the the members-to-come at your school will never hear anything about what you worked so hard to build. Personally, if I was in the latter situation I think it would totally suck.
If the orgs are too small to each support a separate national, maybe the Greek life coordinator could approach them about mergers.
